Title: I don't do boats
Post by: gene on April 15, 2011, 08:28:47 pm
So this guy asks me about reupholstering his boat. I tell him I don't do boats. I did suggest that he might want to think about fixing the hole in the bottom of the boat first, though. What do you think? I don't do boats. Was that good advise?

Actually, I saw these picks on the net and thought there were kind of interesting. I hope someone had insurance or deep pockets.

Amazing.

Just gos to show you that you cannot save an idiot from himself. It looks like many of those wrecks were caused by operator error. :)
